Keeping dry with aluminum gutters

Low-maintenance and durable, aluminum gutters are a vital part of your home's defense system against the elements. These often under-appreciated metal channels carry water from rain, ice, and snow away from your roof, helping to prevent leakage and damage.

Aluminum is inexpensive, rust-resistant, and available in a variety of colors, making it a great choice for rain gutter material. The wide variety of colors, including blues, greens, and reds, as well as options in traditional shades like the whites and creams, allow you to have the options you need to better coordinate with exterior paint color and trim. Plus, aluminum is lightweight, so it's easy for you or a professional to install and repair. Expect to pay between $1.50 to $8 per foot depending on the thickness. You can buy these gutters seamless or in sections that are joined with rivets and caulk.
